Ryan Sirolli is the Global Environmental Markets Insets Lead for Cargill. In this role, he is responsible for leading strategy development and implementation of environmental outcomes markets to create new opportunities for farmers – while enabling Cargill and its customers to meet their science-based environmental commitments. The foundation of environmental outcomes programs has been based on advancing the soil health principles, optimizing nutrient management in row crop production along with an increased focus on ruminant livestock production including grazing management and feed optimization both for economic and environmental impacts. Ryan has spent his entire career working along the food and agriculture value chain from managing a row-crop and beef operation in Maryland early in his career to leading the development of Cargill’s regenerative agriculture and soil heath management initiatives in more recent years. Prior to returning Cargill in 2019, he led similar efforts to advance soil health management systems for a large consumer packaged goods firm. Ryan holds a B.S. in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and a M.S. in Food and Resource Economics from the University of Delaware.
